Hi guys I just got a Grex- TRUST alluminum shift knob and Im going to install it tommorrow. Do any of guys have any tips on how to remove the old shift knob off and not run into any snags while puting it in.

first "mod" eh? thats weird.. i can strangely remember my first "mod" being the exact Grex Shift Knob..haha... but it was a little too bling for me.. so i jus switched over to a Nismo GT.

so anyway.. gettin the stock knob off is a bitch.. jus try to rotate it counterclockwise with all your might.. and eventually itll start to come off... 15 year old shift knobs tend to get stuck to the shifter from years of jus sitting there.. when ur pulling out the knob.. be sure not to put too much stress on ur shifter.. in other words.. jus rotate the knob without pulling on the entire shifter itself... other than that.. its jus a 2 min install...

i have a veilside knob. hmm.. very similar to the grex one huh? that was my first mod too.

some shifters are a bitch to remove.... some just come off. they all eventually come off tho. good luck.

Take a rag and some vise grips. The rag keeps the teeth of the vise grips from gouging into the shift knob.

Thanks you guys I was able to remove that old stock shift knob without a tired arm by useing a vise grip that I had laying around and that sucker came right off just like nothing after a while of twisting the thing for a few seconds. I'll probably be posting some pic's of my project 180Sx a bit later on so stay tuned.

Once again thanks for the help.

if you have trouble on figuring out how to remove a shift knob. the automotive industry, and wrenching all together should be remove from your personality. I can only imagine the future questions coming from you.
